kevin connelly has the story. when these legal proceedings began, the young british woman at the heart of the case was a victim, makingme to court today to be found guilty of making a false statement about what the law in cyprus says was an imaginary crime. her lawyers say both the police investigation and the court process were flawed. we believe that there have been many violations in the procedure and the right to a fair trial of our client have been violated. we are planning to appeal the decision to the supreme court, hoping that our client will find justice in cyprus, at least from the supreme court. these are the young israeli tourists who originally faced accusations that they had raped the young woman. they were freed and allowed to fly home after she retracted the allegation. but she says she only changed her story about the young men because she was put under huge pressure by police, questioning her when she was vulnerable. her defence team are likely to base their appeal on the way they say she was questioned for eight hours without access to a lawyer and then coerced into agreeing that her claims were fal

kevin connolly, has the story. his report does contain flash photography. when these legal proceedings began, the youngoman at the heart of the case was a victim, making a complaint of rape. she came to court today to be found guilty of making a false statement about what the law in cyprus says was an imaginary crime. her lawyers say both the police investigation and the court process were flawed. we believe that there have been many violations in the procedure and the rights to a fair trial for our client have been violated. we are planning to appeal the decision to the supreme court, hoping that our client will find justice in cyprus, at least from the supreme court. these young israeli tourists were released from police custody and allowed to fly home after the woman retracted her allegation of rape. she said she only did so because she was put under huge pressure by police questioning, and she was vulnerable and didn't have a lawyer. women's rights activists outside the court argued that the young woman was a victim, not a criminal. some wore scarves showing lips stitched together — a reminder, the

whole set of left policy which seems to be quite attractive to many inside the sbd is kevin who is heading up the younglists. what they think is that it's better to be in opposition and to kind of recalibrate the message of the sbd along the lines like the greens did it the greens which are hugely popular used their time as an opposition party i guess that's the narrative behind that potential option to walk away from that grand coalition because those people who are now in charge of the social democrats, they think it's because of the grand coalition that the sbd has so low popularity with a recent poll having them at 14% or 11% as you were saying just now. so, i guess don't underestimate the potential to say we threw it all in the water to have actually a potential to recalibrate ourself to get our message right and to be attractive again to voters >> just to point out that according they are tracking 14% but in the context of history very low levels. thank you for breaking it down for us a crucial week for german politics let's get back to the head of credit for hermes investment management this mag

back again of dwaynejohnson, jack black, kevin hart and karen gillan, but we add a couple of new characters. they accidentally get sucked into the game with our young the things that made the original film work really well, this central body swa p work really well, this central body swap idea, these people get sucked into the game and have avatars and one becomes heroic, one becomes the rock, one becomes jack black. it is like that, but everything is turned up like that, but everything is turned up to ii. more body swapping, there is somebody good fun and special effects and goodness. a giant ostrich chasing a gym bag which made me think that cgi has very common since the days ofjurassic park. think, as long as we assume it is not going to redefine the boundaries of cinema, but as a good piece of solid entertainment, i was going to say pamela entertainment with the exception of the fact there were a couple of off—colour gags that i thought did not need to be in there. but those aside, i thought it was much better than we had any right to accept that for the first time. very good to know. right, now we have the kingmaker. a documentary about imelda

kevin mccarthy. congressman, thanks so much for being here tonight. youngressman, there's so much to go through, but i just want to hit a couple of points. it came out of judiciary, the recommendation, two articles of impeachment, totally along partisan party lines, and it's going to the full house, these two articles, next week. so what we've got now is the $64,000 question, of 31 congressmen and women in the trump-leaning districts who may suffer a penalty if they go along those partisan party lines and, you know, i don't know if you can see them all, but it's everyone that i'm sure you already know. how much danger are they in they go through with this? >> i think there's quite a few, and i don't think it's just the 31 who are currently in districts that president trump carries. i take it out to about 55. >> really? >> even "the washington post" wrote the only bipartisan vote here would be no. they're afraid more democrats are going to leave them. they never thought this. remember what speaker pelosi said back in march, that impeachment was so divisive t

young guns program. the publican program to recruit candidates and competitive races and raise money for them. kevin mccarthy made the decision to remove him from the program. a spokesman told usa today that representative tom ameren of minnesota agreed. there is no place for inciting violence and politics, said >> briefing with reporters. mr. mccarthy: this morning i listened to speaker pelosi give us historical references. the one that she skipped was alexander hamilton when he wrote, there will always be the greatest danger that the decision to use the impeachment power would be driven by partisan animosity instead of real demonstrations of incense or guilt. today is the day that hamilton warned us. today with the speaker announcement she has weakened this nation. it was not new news. they always had this prewritten timeline from the day they got sworn in. let's go through their timeline. after winning the majority they had to decide who would become the chairs of their committees. impeachment committee, judiciary, had a campaign for it. nadler campaigned on the theme that he would be the best fo

kevin connolly. he explained the background to thejudgment. this revolves around a judgment on this youngtness. the districtjudge in famagusta michalis papathanasiou has said that he has found her to be an unreliable witness and that in retracting her allegation of rape, she was effectively, in so doing, admitting that she had made up the allegation in the first place. so the whole affair revolves around the disputed circumstances of a night in a hotel room in cyprus in july. this young woman was having a holiday romance with one israeli. she says she was gang raped by a group of his friends. they have always denied that. after they were released, she was questioned. the police say she changed her story, and it is that change in the story which lies at the heart of today's conviction under the cypriot charge of public mischief, which is in effect falsifying a legal claim. so no sentence today, but a criminal conviction and a long appeals process to follow, i think. her lawyers are going to focus on the human rights aspect of this case, which is not so much about the disputed events in tha
